Can the Airways Crewmembers shed ANY light on how they decide who get the nod and who doesn't?
While you have some interesting qualifications, I don't know how close you come to fitting "the profile" of the majority of folks they have been hiring since the merger.
Most guys are coming from the regional airlines. Most of them are active CAs, but a FO will make the cut from time to time because of having the right connections.
Your TT and turbine PIC are competitive, but the MD-11 experience might be more than they are looking for. I think there have been very, very few guys hired at US Airways within the past several years with widebody/heavy time on the tracks and international (oceanic) ops experience.
